That's fair. (Though I certainly haven't argued it either way previously myself.)

I do think it makes your statement that cannot, "be linked back to you personally", a little less absolute.



That was someone-else's statement, not mine.

My take: An IP address is usually not, in fact almost always not, PII on its own, but there are circumstances where it is part of a package of data that is PII, and others where it could be considered “circumstantial PII”.
